XhatGPT idiotic layout of 13amp plug wiring. Just random wires really.
CoPilot AI diagram of plug wiring. Two live wires, one forked off the earthm and a screw head is also labelled Live.
And finally, Gemini AI diagram of 13 amp plug wiring. Hard to know where to even begin with this. Just a mess really.
One of the easiest ways to shoot down the idea that "AI" is an expert is to show how it deals with something people know about.
Younger readers may not get this as most appliances come pre-wired, but anyone 35+ can see these are chaotic fire hazards.

1) Incentivize more drivers to go through two ridiculous bottlenecks to cram more cars onto the Peninsula.
2) Gaze in astonishment when you make things WORSE.
3) Blame bike lanes because you're angry that cyclists keep passing you.
In Halifax I propose we do the same for City councillors and mayor. Drop them in Burnside and have them get to City Hall with a $20 bill. (they can figure out the app if they want)
